I'm against the death penalty except for when I accidentally step on my pet's foot a little bit in which case I get the electric chair immediately

Trump's lawyers are absolutely flailing in the courts right now

We couldn't make it out to the vigil but wanted to show we are thinking about Sam tonight 💔 #justiceforsam 🏳️‍⚧️

Every web page ordered restored by the court that features anything related to gender now contains this notice.

Getting private word that a few hospitals that have paused care for trans youth are starting that care back up. If your hospital is one of them, please message me privately. Good to see the initial capitulation is receiving strong pushback.

Been working on this David Lynch portrait obsessively since I heard this quote a couple weeks ago 🏳️‍⚧️

trans women are incredible because we've had inferiority beaten into us our whole lives and we turn around and say "fuck that, actually, i deserve to be happy."

If you’re cis & you want trans folks to know they’re valid and cared for, here’s a tip: Don’t say it to a trans person. Go talk to a cis person. Talk to your dad. Your coworker. Your friends. Ask if they know whats going on. Ask if they have uncertainties when it comes to the ~trans issue.~

I just need you to understand the degree to which every columnist and pundit claiming they just wanted to "follow the science" or have more research on trans kids is just remarkably full of shit

Don't tell me that the billionaires running the country don't have my interests at heart. You don't know my interests. What if my interests are to eat shit and die

I must say, this has been a tough couple weeks to be a child therapist 😓

Here is something you can do right now

If you’re a straight, cis person who has ever posted some version of a rainbow with “you’re safe with me” or similar, it’s time to back up the words with action— contact your reps and ask them what they’re going to do to protect trans people from this administration, particularly trans kids.

Major news: Donald Trump has just issued a trans military ban, with much of the details left to Hegseth. It states that being trans is incompatible with "an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle" I know many military trans people who have served admirably for decades. Shameful.

Contacting me with a sneaky new profile after being blocked multiple times is so creepy 😭 whyyy

hi, cis folks! meet S.9. it's the senate sports ban for trans athletes—a big step to something making trump’s executive order federal law, which is much harder to undo. short call scripts for dem & GOP senators ⬇️. if you said you'd stand with trans folks, it's time.🧵

Worried about public health being dismantled? Wear a mask. Worried about Medicare/Medicaid? Wear a mask. Worried about the surveillance state? Wear a mask. Interested in peaceful protest? Wear a mask. Truly wearing a mask is the best way to safeguard your health AND show resistance & solidarity

I know not everyone is here in a news-gathering capacity, but news-sharing is serving that function. Here's some stuff I try never to do unless there's huge urgency and I know the story: 1. Posting/reposting screencaps of news stories, without a link. URLS are not suppressed here! Don't do it.

I just took a big gulp of coffee and wondered why it felt like there was a breadcrumb in it, dared to look in my cup and half a bug was floating in there 🤮🤮🤮 noooo
